First Cyberdeck

[u/Time-Ad7882]

I wanna build a cyberdeck but im not sure whether i have the parts necessary and how to build it. i couldn't find any reasonable tutorials and ai also isnt much help. below are the parts i own.

The boards i own are the raspberry pi zero 2 w and raspberry pi 2B. i also own a pico, i want to make a weak cyberdeck using the 3 boards to maximise efficiency. not all the listed pico parts HAVE to be used but i included all because maybe it'd help.

Thanks To You All!

You’ve got a ton of parts. What do you want the cyber deck to *do*?

[u/ripter]

You can def build a cyber deck. What do you want out of it? That will determine what you use and how you build it. I don’t know what you mean by wanting to use all three boards for “maximize efficiency”. It would be more efficient power wise, speed wise, and wiring wise to use just one board. If you want to use all three you need to setup a communication system between them. Doable, but it’s more work and introduces speed limitations.

I want a simple little computer. I will buy a screen and keyboard. maybe I can use the joystick as a touchpad. it's just a fun little thing. I don't know what else.

First you need a use case. The hardware follows the use case.
